Lake Kivu
This vast fresh-water expanse forms part of the East African Great Lakes. Sitting on its shores are the towns of Cyangugu, Kibuye and Gisenyi, ideal rest and recreation transit points between the primate tracking destinations of Nyungwe Forest National Park, and the Volcanoes National Park.
Lake Kivu is the largest of numerous freshwater lakes that shimmer in the valleys of Rwanda. Set amid the dramatic mountains of the rift valley and the virungas to the north, the irregular shores form numerous inlets and peninsulas and myriad forest-fringed waterfalls.
